...Amused. The Bundeswehr's 456,000 men constitute the strongest and best-equipped NATO force on the Continent, are deployed in the first layer of defense along the Iron Curtain from Schleswig-Holstein to Bavaria. Bonn's plans called for an expansion of the Bundeswehr over the next few years, but Kiesinger's Cabinet, worried about the economic slowdown in West Germany, two weeks ago decided to cut military expansion plans by about 25%. When a jet passed low over the Palais Schaumburg, in which the Cabinet was meeting, Interior Minister Paul Lücke cracked: "Schroder...
